the appropriate departments. This allows department administrators to use only the resources assigned
to them, while still allowing for effective sharing of physical resources.
Resource groups
Resources are grouped by storage system, parity group, LDEV ID, storage port, etc.
There are three (3) types of resource groups identified by their description:
• The All Resources resource group is created during management server installation and includes
all resources managed by Command View AE Suite.
• Default resource groups are created as storage systems are registered, and include all storage
system resources.
• User-defined resource groups are created for the P9500 Disk Array and depend on the operating
environment. Resources can be grouped by parity group, LDEV ID, storage port, etc.
Resource groups, which are user defined, can be set for the P9500 Disk Array. Each resource is
automatically registered in the All Resources and in Default resource groups created for its storage
system (this group cannot be deleted). Note that if a volume that is part of a LUSE or THP/Smart pool
is registered in a resource group, other volumes in that LUSE or THP/Smart pool are also registered
in the same resource group. If the resource is in a P9500 Disk Array storage system, you can register
it in only one user-defined resource group. Resources in different P9500 Disk Arrays cannot be
registered in the same resource group. The only resource group that can be assigned to an externally
authorized group is All Resources.
Prerequisites for creating resource groups
Resources are grouped by storage system, parity group, LDEV ID, storage port, etc.
All of the following resources can be set in order to create a user-defined group. However, the only
resource group that can be assigned to an externally authorized group is All Resources:
• Parity Groups: Includes parity groups and volumes in external storage systems. If a user has the
Modify or higher roles for parity groups or THP/Smart pools and an unused Volume ID is assigned
to the user, the user can create a volume.
